I have in my possession a Dankaert 500mm Jointer - beautiful old machine, damn thing weighs a tonne, (literally according to the shipping paperwork!).
It originally came from the General Motors Holden pattern room. What I don't have is the blade guard and I do like my fingers, scarred and battered as they may be.
Does anyone know of an aftermarket supplier, (other than SUVA, $1100 for a guard), of planer/ jointer guards? I guess I have a theoretical preference for the Euro type guard if possible. I am fully capable of fabricating a guard if need be, often though time versus cost it is simpler to buy a generic type guard.
